THE GRIDDLE

Using the Griddle

1 Remove the pan supports that cover the 2 central burners.

To use the Griddle:

The Griddle is manufactured from 5mm thick stainless steel designed for a high

heat retention across the plate. The very high cooking temperature makes the

Griddle ideal for searing meats and vegetables and for oriental style recipes. Some

suggested uses include: steaks, burgers, chicken, fish and other meats, vegetables

such as peppers, mushrooms and aub ergines, stir

sandwiches, naan and pitta breads, fried and scrambled eggs, griddle cakes,

crumpets, English muffins and drop scones.

To assemble the Griddle:

2 Screw the feet to the underside of the Griddle. The two longest feet go to the rear

and the two shortest go to the front (towards the drip tray).

3 Carefully position the Griddle onto the hob, ensuring that it is seated correctly and

resting on the stainless hob.

Care must be taken when handling the Griddle. It’s heavy!

Please do not use over dual wok burner

For instructions on h ow to season the Griddle, see next section. The Griddle can

smoke during use so always turn your extractor hood on before you start cooking.

1 To light the burner. push in and turn the control knob to the large flame position.

Hold the control knob in far 5-10 seconds after the flame has lit to activate the flame

failure device, before releasing.

attempting to re-ignite.

2 Pre-heat on full power for 5 minutes.

3 Add a small amount of oil and then the food.

4 Adjust the front and back flames as required.

The Griddle is hottest in the central front and bac k areas and c ooler at the outer

edges. You can control the cooking temperature by moving the food to the outer

edges after the initial searing, similar to the way you would use a barbecue. To avoid

excess spitting use the minimum amount of oil when cooking on the Griddle.

Use a spatula for turning and serving food. You can also remove any food residues

at the end of

cooking using a spatula. The high temperature of the Griddle makes plastic tools unsuitable for use with it. Do not be tempted to move or turn the food too quickly or often. Wait until the food sears and is released from the cooking surface before turning.

The following table gives a guide to cooking temperatures and times:

These times are purely advisory and will depend on the size and cut of the

Cast iron griddle

A griddle is available as an optional accessory.

To use a griddle:

1 Place the griddle on top of the pan support.

2 Pre-heat the griddle on full power tor 4-5 minutes before adding the food. Most

foods (eggs in particular) will require a small amount of oil to help prevent sticking. Turn the food half-way through the cooking time to sear both sides. The more the griddle is used, the better the cast iron will absorb oils, giving it a natural non-stick finish.
